Ok, I just finished binge reading this build story and am in awe of the vision, skill, and perseverance to make this happen. But, come on! You can't leave it hanging... must have an update on progress.


Sorry for the long delay but I am happy to say that I've been back at it after a slight break and will have an update shortly. I've also had some time to think over some design elements and decided to remove the air scoops over the roof. I decided to stick with the hollow spoke turbo twists and I'm looking into placing the twin 996 radiators in the quarter panel. As you may know, I lengthened the wheelbase 3" and that will hopefully give me room to fit the radiators. I'm trying to not have to have radiators in the front hood.

Good to hear, Rudy. I was going to stop by last week but figured if you didn't have enough time to work on your car then you sure didn't have enough time to chew the fat! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

OK back on FINALLY! I started work on the floor. I removed it and now am waiting to get the replacements. I will be working on closing up the holes that I needed to put the struts through. Also, it's easier with the floor off. Should be getting a new set of shoes. 10.5 x 18 F, 15mm offset with 265/35/18 and 12.5x 18 rear, 0 mm offset with 335/35/18 Toyo R888R's. Track is 62.5" Front, Rear is 63.0".

Thanks for the awesome welcome back. @andyrew @sb914 @76-914 @ValcoOscar @tygaboy Andy I'm just going to put the stock floor back in since the car is already low (4" clr) I don't want to expose my hindquarters and moneybags any more than it alreasy is. Kent, It would be better if you came by on the weekend after labor day. I should have the floor by then and will be installing it. Hopefully the new wheels will be in at that time as well. The break has been good, I've though over some things, changed my mind over and over but now I feel way better about some of the design changes. I am going with the radiators in the quarter panels and I decided against (for the second time) the hollow spokes.

By the way did you guys notice the front and rear track dimensions. It's a half inch from being 63" Square.

BTW does someone have the link to the guy that shows how to widen the steel gt flares? I've checked using the search but I was not successful. I remember that he cut the whole thing and added a strip to it. I will need to do the same thing and is the next thing on my agenda after the floor is welded back in.

@chrisfoley would you happen to have more pictures of that flare widening? I searched your name and widen flares and did not come up with what I was looking for.

I have a collection of pics in my office computer showing more details. I don't recall if I ever posted more of them on the forum. Just checked my facebook company page but only a couple incidental pics of that car in the timeline photos.
